During this webinar, HUD and CSH discuss HUD’s Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Final Rule which implements the requirements of the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act for HUD covered housing programs, including the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) and Continuum of Care (CoC) Programs. The rule was created to help ensure all individuals have access to a safe home without the fear of violence and to reduce the risk of homelessness among survivors. Learn more about:

The protections and rights outlined in the rule including the protection from refusal of assistance, termination of assistance, or eviction based on being a survivor

A survivor’s right to an emergency transfer when there is a safe and available unit

The option to bifurcate a lease to help keep a survivor safely housed

The webinar will provide a full overview of the rule, specifically targeted to recipients of ESG and CoC funds.

The webinar will also be recorded and posted to the HUD Exchange training page for those that were not able to register or to enter the webinar. The slides will be also be available for download on the HUD Exchange after the webinar.
